Relaxing Easter break

Beautiful period property with stunning views of the countryside. We enjoyed a very relaxing week here, in the comfort of spacious, well decorated rooms and we made the most of the wood burner on cooler evenings. Our teenage boys loved the private pool and we all enjoyed the garden and nearby meadow, where our puppy was able to run freely. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay, and cleaned to the highest standard. Set in a beautiful location, this peaceful property is a great base from which to explore the English countryside.

Amazing stay with Pauline

We had a fantastic time at Pauline and Norman's. The house and garden was beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. The house was clean, spacious and the kids loved the pool. Our hosts were so welcoming and I would book again in a heartbeat if in Suffolk again.

Fantabulous Staycation

First of all, the first impression was Pauline herself who was very welcoming & showed us around the cotttage & how things worked. The Yew tree cottage is a very lovely cottage with it's own swimming pool, garden area, pond with fishes, cats running around, a swing, it's barn area, some sheep & chickens and obviously the nice owners. My kids 8 & 4 year old thoroughly loved their time whilst there especially swimming in the pool and when Pauline showed us around the lamb & the chickens. The inside of the cottage has it's original features but brilliantly modernised where you won't miss the comfort of a modern home. Overall, the owners are very nice people and caring. The cottage is superb. We had a splendid family time. I would recommend this cottage to anyone without any hesitation.

Short break

Had a great time at this property for a long weekend. Plenty to do around and about. Lovely house and very hospitable owners. Pool was a real bonus. As was the use of the surrounding fields to walk our dog. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by pauline cobley

Bought Yew Tree Cottage 6 years ago and it forms half the house in which we have lived since 1979. We completely refurbished Yew Tree Cottage as a fully equipped holiday home. Now semi retired and keep a small holding with sheep and chickens. Someone should be around most of the time to help with queries/directions etc.

What makes this property unique

Yew Tree Cottage is in a quiet rural location with
views over the meadows and farmland. The cottage is timber framed with many original features but fully equipped kitchen with all mod cons. Gas fired central heating with underfloor heating in the kitchen and a wood burner in the lounge to keep you cosy no matter what the weather!
